Arctic Building, Beaux-Arts office building in downtown Seattle, United States
The Arctic Building stands ten stories tall at Third Avenue and Cherry Street, featuring cream white terra cotta facades with submarine blue and orange-brown details.
Constructed in 1916 for successful Klondike Gold Rush veterans, the building served as the Arctic Club headquarters until its dissolution in 1971.
Terra cotta walrus head sculptures on the third floor demonstrate the connection between Seattle architecture and northern exploration themes of the early 1900s.
The building functions as a hotel with 120 rooms, located within walking distance of Pike Place Market, Lumen Field, and multiple transportation options.
The Northern Lights Dome Room contains an extensive stained-glass ceiling that serves as a gathering space for various events throughout the year.
